Journal entry

From my journal

Every outward journey

is a journey towards the self

a line from one of my poems.
When the dust settles

life is glorious

most of the time

and we complicate it

by too much wanting our own way

and not following the grace.
Wisdom comes in small doses

nothing is forgotten
each memory is forever
each dance

a testament

that we still are life

with all its challenges and pitfalls..
Only the striving must cease

and we must become quiet

for the true self to emerge

through the chaos and perplexity.
Under the rock

there is a diamond

we have to polish it

and the diamond is us

each unique

when we find our own voice

it reveals itself to us
forward happens

we can not stop it…

dominion is our birthright
all is only as real

as we make it

the thoughts we give power to

can shape and sculpt our lives.

Blaming is a street not to travel.

Let those who have wronged us go

and let our resentment go too.
Songs of the self pour out of us
when our hearts sing
all is in the way

the notes are brought to life and sound.
Now it is time for living.

Love
